I will not be releasing Chromatic ROMs in the near future. I have way too much going on in my personal and professional life right now, to be haxxin on ROMs.

Good News:

The Biff Mod Squad is still developing BiffMOD and it is currently on V 2.1 which is based on CM 6.1 Froyo 2.2.1 (latest) ANNNND even better news! Sisterchick has created a Chromatic theme for it, so you can still enjoy the Chromatic flavor!

Originally BiffMOD was the exact same thing as Chromatic so you guys will be in good hands with those folks. Go check it out, the Chromatic Theme should be up tomorrow (11-10)

XML Import and Export is not working on versions prior to 4.3 ITS FIXED!!!(CMParts)
[+] For the time being right click and save the file here on your computer, and then go into the UI tweaks under Settings>CMParts on your phone, and fill in the corresponding parts as listed on the xml file

Sometimes Market can go wonky and get hung up on downloads
[+] Fix for this is to first check your downloads page as Froyo can restore your apps so it may already be downloading the same app your trying to install, or it may just be processing hard trying to restore all of your "known" apps. Just let it work through those restores, it may max out your internal memory and fail a bunch of them, thats ok just let it do its thing. Then re-boot and try again.
[+] Next, if you are still having trouble, Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All> Market, And clear cache, Clear Data, Force Stop; Then hit back and go to Market Updater and do the same. Re-boot, and then re-try your install. Still doesn't work? Then something is broken, wipe and re-flash.

Battery Issues?
[+] Let the phone die till it turns off
[+] Plug it in
[+] Boot into recovery
[+] Wipe battery stats
[+] Let batter charge for 8+ hours, this is good conditioning for you battery as well!

~POST BOOT SETUP~

Setup
Don't allow Google to collect anonymous data; It makes your GPS run all the time.

Un-Check Back up my data to Google

LET IT SYNC! Its going to do all kinds of stuff like restoring apps etc. just let it chill for a while, go into market and watch the downloads tab once the sync icon disappears! Seriously, leave it alone, go hang out, or setup your settings but leave apps alone!

If you get into a loop with the setup wizard on first boot, just hit home key after you log in once.

Input Settings>Lockscreen music controls are awesome thanks kmobs!, Menu unlock settings are in here as well.

Performance Settings> Seriously Dragons...you should only touch Lock Home in Memory (which everyone should turn on!) if you want us to support you in the threads :P Other stuff is functional, but experimental!

UI Settings> See Known issues section for instructions on setting this up easily Setting most things to white or grey will result in fine looks. You need not mess with Notification bar submenu under >Notifications colors

Remember (as with all CM based ROMS) you will need to change the text color for your clock and notifications via Settings>spare parts. It will be black on black when you boot. See Known issues list for workaround!

ADW Suggestions
Go into Settings>ADW Settings
Change "Desktop scrolling speed" value to 0-177. (0 is what I use and is silly fast!)
Desktop Overshoot set to "50"
I also recommend Under UI settings:
Checking, Closing dockbar
Checking, Tint AB
Checking, Hide AllApps Bg
Checking, Hide AB Bg
Checking, Hide Icon labels
Highlight Press Color: FF000000
Highlight Focus Color: FF696969
Un-Check, Scrollable widget support (unless you are using some of the new scrollable widgets like what the Pure line is doing)
Get in there play around!!!

If you do have problems wipe and try again

I put a lot into this ROM I hope everyone likes it!!!

Based on CM 6 (Nightly 8-08) (Thanks to Cyanogen and his team of oh so amazing, self proclaimed douches!)

It may reboot, even a couple times in a row during the first couple of hours just be calm, More often than not THIS IS NOT A FULL BOOTLOOP, YOU WILL COME OUT OF IT These are kernel panics its being worked on!

4.2

Apps to ext!!!

Based on 08012010-003507 nightly

Lock home in memory added to CMParts!

DSP Manager included

Compcache functions now (don't recommend it though)

JIT Runs, Linkpack is OK

Reboot fix in place (ARM haxx) Will prob reboot on first boot, let it settle

Fixed Market issues "Installation unsuccessful" for new folks just joining the party. If you are coming from a wipe use 3.9.1 if you are on 3.9 and can not download items from the market, wipe and install 3.9.1 if you are not having issues on 3.9 no need to flash 3.9.1

Can enable swap using included firerat patch
From terminal ( enter after each line )
su
sh /system/etc/fr-patch133.txt swap

It's important to know that the "DangerSPL" (or DeathSPL or Haykuro's SPL or whatever you prefer) is a prerequisite for Dream/G1 users. Magic (MT3G etc) users do *not* need to do this. Ciwrl has written a guide to installing this bootloader. Flashing this bootloader under the wrong conditions can actually brick your device, so pay attention to the guide. CM releases have always avoided this requirement, but the new bootloader frees up enough space so that no crazy hacks are required for a fully functional system.

INSTRUCTIONS:- First time flashing a CM-5 based rom?
1. Root your device and install Amon_RA's recovery (Dream / Magic)
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. Install the DangerSPL if you don't already have it
4. WIPE (I cannot guarantee an upgrade from CM-4.2 to this CM-5 based ROM will work- Titanium Backup may be of help)
5. Install the ROM

- Upgrading?
1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. Install the ROM If it is lagging or feeling laggy go into SETCPU chances are the max is set to something stupid low for some reason so it makes this ROM feel like crap.

New ADW launcher 9.0 (same one in CM6) (new theming) A lot of gesture awesomeness get in the settings and play, also he screwed up with 9.0 stand-alone and so you will see settings in the normal place and menu>adwsetting #BlameAnder

More theming on the included apps

Moved extra apps to data/app so they can be uninstalled (including 3D gallery)

Elliot's music prettiness, with white on widget still ~I know I need to kill the orange inside!

Added kmobs click menu to unlock app
~launch the application, allow SU permissions, do it twice if you have issues.

Added wireless tether

Removed SuperScript to help with battery woes, muuuuch better

Bettered long delay from launcher to phone/contacts (less than 3 sec on both launchers)

Its awesome!

Added SuperSript (clears cache on boot, and cracks it out!)

Cyanogen, all of Teamdouche, Htcclay, Domenuk, Anderwebs, Firerat, Sean_jensen, and many many more!

This Rom used to be based on .07 test4 and was called ChromeMOD most comments on the first few pages are from that POS release jump to the end to see whats what!.

I think you should post this in the Android Themes section with flashable zip files that change the theme instead. I wouldn't really consider this a new "rom" or anything, it hardly has to do with the development section. It's just CM with a bit of a twist.

There is also some changes to the system itself, swap, jit, etc. So I think I will keep it right here.
